  1. Air Flow Unlimited Group 13 Joseph Cognato Jonathan Glynn Matthew Hartman Ramon Villarreal

  2. Introduction Design a display that will be used to demonstrate scientific principles to Viewers K-12 Must be interactive

  3. Sponsor requirements It must have intuitive controls It must be rugged Fit into their current displays Have good explanations to have a large range of appeal Must have subject matter that is easy to grasp Low maintenance and operation requirements Should work off of the initial material constraints

  4. Air Foil Design Has a concept that is easy to demonstrate Allows us to demonstrate effects of air flow with a real life concept Allows for an interactive approach on controlling the content of the display Allows for an interesting flow visualization

  5. Carts A very basic understanding with a medium that makes sense to young minds Shows a different aspect when compared in contrast with the wing. Works well with the current limitations of the quality of the air flow that the box provides Can be used as an example for what drove the evolution of vehicle design

  6. Pitot-Static Probe

  7. Materials • Wing • Cross Section • Balsa Wood • Covering and Boom • Polystyrene Sheet • Total Mass ~0.009lbs

  8. Materials • Gears and Bearings • Polystyrene • Total Mass ~0.046lbs • Overall Mass ~0.055lbs • McMaster-Carr as Supplier

  9. Calculated Lift Calculated wind speed ~12m/sec Reynolds Number ~ Lift Coefficient ~1.65 Achievable Lift ~0.75lbs

  10. Motor Largest pressure difference 150Pa. Torque of 0.003 ft-lbs Trinamic stepper motor Motor stale torque 0.4 ft-lbs

  11. Pasco Gocar • 2 matching carts • Geometric attachment(square, and circle) • Attachments made of aluminum • COMSOL of produced airflow

  12. Material selection • The attachment materials will be made out of aluminum • Cost effective • Durable • Easy to machine for simple geometries • Low density metal(181 lb per cubic foot)

  28. Actual wind tunnel

  29. Velocity Profile m/s

  30. Mesh Intercrimp Mesh with 0.063” wire; US$5.00/ft² Estimated area need – 3.5 ft²

  31. Corner • Aluminum Structural Angle; • 6 feet long; • 2 bars; • 2 X 2 X 3/16 [in] • Price – US$57.36

  32. Monitors 2 Monitors; 7 inch colorful; US$89.99 each

  33. Explanation Positioned at the side of the wind tunnel; Insight into the physics of the experiment;

  34. Potentiometer Pot - Precision Electronics 10K Linear, 24mm, Slotted Shaftmade by Precision Electronics 10% tolerance.RoHS Compliant Price – US$34.29/unit

  35. Knob 13/16" Tall x 3/4" Dia Plastic US$3/unit

  36. Bearings ProTek R/C 5x10x4mm rubber sealed "Speed" 1/8 clutch bearings; High quality steel/chrome; Price – US$10 (10 unit pack)

  37. Bearings ProTek R/C 14x25.4x6mm High quality steel/chrome; Price – US$22.99/unit

  38. Safety The blowers do not generate much noise All aspects of the display are contained and separated from the viewers The only aspects in which a user can come in contact with any devices are the controls which will be rugged by soft edged knobs The supports for the box and the outer surfaces will not break or fracture due to appropriate loads General design of components in user interact are in line with the same design aspects as displays in current use

  39. Schedule Testing for viable airfoil regions of operation Testing for controls Testing for cart reactions
